Supported projects 2019
Every year, we select projects in two rounds (in April and September) that deserve financial support, often in countries where freedom of expression and open discussion about social problems are not self-evident.
Algeria – FiSahara
FiSahara is an annual human rights film festival held in the camps in Algeria for Sahrawi refugees from Western Sahara. The festival is scheduled for April 2020 and will reach 5000 visitors, including youth, women and children. Every year the festival has a human rights theme and film screening are followed by discussions aiming to transform the passive audience into active participants. The impact grant is aimed at strengthening organisational skills and local capacities to carry out the festival activities. The overall objective of FiSahara is to use film as a tool for social transformation for the refugees from the Western Sahara.
Argentina – Catapulta Festival Nacional de Artes Audiovisuales y Derechos Humanos
Catapulta Festival is a new festival in Tucumán, in the north of Argentina. It is organised by Andhes, a non-profit working on social change based on human rights and democracy. The first edition was an intensive four day programme in November 2019 mainly focused on gender equality and rights of the LGBTI population. Eleven long and short films, mainly Argentinean productions, were screened at the Museum of the National University of Tucuman, the municipal theatre and cultural centres. Screenings were followed by Q&A's and panel discussions, in cooperation with many public institutions and local groups. The festival attracted more than 1700 visitors and a lot of media attention.
Brazil – Taturana Film Festival
In September 2019 the first edition of the Taturana Film Festival took place in six different venues of São Paulo. Screenings of fiction and documentary films took place in many different neighbourhoods. These screenings were followed by debates. After the festival in São Paulo, the festival travelled all over the country, with 38 screenings in 12 different states. Taturana created a very useful toolkit to help educators, mediators and others to discuss the themes approached by the films. The festival helped to inform and engaged students, teachers, experts, activists and social organisations around topics related to human rights and democracy.
Colombia – My Movie is to be in Peace
July – December 2020
How to integrate peace as an everyday attitude into the lives of Colombian people? Between July and December 2020, the organisation Cine Vagabundo will screen 22 films about peace in 12 towns across Colombia. In each town, screenings take place in jails, universities, churches, public squares and parks. Moreover, innovative approaches are being developed to discuss peace among bus passengers. An estimated number of 100.000 Colombians will be reached. Most important goal of the project is to accept differences and create reconciliation in Colombia.
Gambia – Community cinema

By presenting 25 films related to sexuality, queerness and gender, the Kyiv International Short Film Festival (KISFF) tries to counter this situation and create a space for discussion about these topics. This programme is called Sexuality Matters. The 9th edition of the KISFF takes place mostly in an online form, from 5-9 August 2020.

Hymn – Perish
by Kerrie at 27 April 2017, 11:11 AM
The band HYMN was conceived in 2013, in Oslo, Norway, with their self-titled EP "Hymn". Their first full-length album, with six tracks, and nearly fifty minutes long, titled "Perish". They are a Doom-y Metal duo, with the album being released by Svart Records. The cover art is created from tints of white and shades of black, the picture as a whole is the view of a mountain from the clouds.
"Rise" is the second track from the album at a little over twelve minutes. It starts out mellow and the guitar sort of has this gong sound going on, so I hope it's alright to say that it sounded tranquil. It then has this in-between time where there will are moments of heavy and quick guitar playing, but it alternates between a soft, slower playing. The alternating lasts until 7:17 where it then becomes very calm and I'm reminded of that saying "the calm before the storm", because the calmness is about a good minute before it REALLY takes off. At this point it escalates in speed and ends pretty decent, actually. Guess they don't call it "Rise" for nothing.
"Serpent" is probably my favourite song so far, it has a cleaner guitar sound playing along with the crunchier guitar which gives it zing. The drumming and guitar are perfectly in sync, the amount of cymbal usage is good, and the transitioning is perfect. "Perish", I like how it starts out with somewhat of a cleaner guitar and a distinct tapping on a cymbal then jumps into a heavier guitar at twenty-one seconds in. At 2:47 there is what almost sounds like a loose string being plucked but it sounds really cool as an effect for the song. I dig it. There is this effect closer to the end of the song that sounds like when a guitar has been plugged into an older amp, an electronic squeal of sorts, that they have controlled. Normally that sound is a jump to the amp and lower the volume sound, but they pulled it off pretty well. It actually sounds interesting to the ears, definitely good control and I commend them for that.
There was something missing in "Perish", and I don't mean more band members. First of all, you have to give them props for being a two-man band and pouring as much energy and passion into this album as they did. You can definitely tell there was a lot of it. I also realized, the cover art was fitting for what was to be expected in the music. They reached incredible heights like the clouds, or the mountain, and did a fantastic job for a first album. However, for their future album, I am hoping for more effects.

Prolific Canadian actor Ty Olsson has played supporting roles in many of the action films of the 2000s and has contributed voice work to numerous animated series. His first part came in an episode of the wildly popular supernatural saga "The X-Files," leading to frequent stints on various shows, often as tough characters such as a truck driver or cop. He played a recurring part on the updated "Battlestar Galactica" series, and in the superhero sequel "X2," he was the guardian of captive Magneto, the arch villain played by Ian McKellen. In "Flight 93," the TV movie about the 9/11 plane on which the passengers fought back, he climbed the credits, playing one of the few rebellious travelers. He also appeared in the disaster flick "2012" and the Vin Diesel-starring science fiction sequel, "The Chronicles of Riddick," and he voiced one of the lead critters in the animated series "Dragon Tales."


Our new Streamlight Tailcap Adapter allows the Protac Rail Mount 1 and 2 to use Surefire Scout tailcaps and remote switches, including the DS tailcap with SR-D-IT dual remote switch for use with laser/illuminators. The Rail Mount 1 and 2 version is available now, while the HL-X model has an ETA of early March.
Arisaka Defense's Inline Scount Mount is an aftermarket replacement mount for SureFire M600 and M300 Scout series lights, the Arisaka 300 and 600 series lights, and Streamlight's Protac Rail Mount 1 and 2. It replaces the stock Picatinny rail adpater with a low profile mount designed to interface with a model-specific mounting interface; seen in the imagery is the M-LOK model, although mounts for KeyMod and Troy/VTAC Alpha Handguards are also available.
This mount excels on handguards with 45 degree mounting flats, allowing the user to position the light closer or farther away from the 12 o'clock rail, providing clearance for a front sight, or other accessories. Additionally, the base of this mount with a SureFire Scout Light sits only .20″ above the mounting surface, making it, according to Arisaka, the thinnest inline style mount on the market.
The Arisaka 600 Series Light is an illumination package consisting of the Arisaka 600 Series Light Body, Tailcap, and Malkoff Devices Scout head.
E2ST (Super Throw) – 20,000 lux at 1 meter and 650 initial/550 continuous out-the-front lumens. This head has a very focused beam for maximum distance. Continuous run time is 15-20 minutes on 2x CR123 cells or 45-60 minutes on 1x 16650 cell.
E2S (Super) – 12,000 lux at 1 meter and 750 initial/700 continuous out-the-front lumens. This head has a wider beam profile, giving more spill (but still has plenty of throw). Continuous run time is 15-20 minutes on 2x CR123 cells or 45-60 minutes on 1x 16650 cell.
E2T – 10,000 lux at 1 meter and 350 out-the-front lumens. This gives the light plenty of throw for medium range use, while still retaining enough spill for close range and peripheral lighting. Continuous run time is 90-120 minutes on 2x CR123 cells.
The 600 Series Light Body is manufactured without the mounting interface for the stock Picatinny clamp found on Scout lights. This greatly increases the clearance for front sights when used in combination with the Arisaka Inline Scout Mount or Offset Scout Mount, and allows the entire light to be pulled in very close to the rail system.
Diameter: 1.0″ at the head.
The light body, Arisaka momentary tailcap, and head are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodized. High quality Buna-N O-rings and CR123 batteries are included. The 600 Series Light will fit in any aftermarket Scout mount. Made in the USA.
Additionally, Arisaka will be exhibiting at the USASOC Sniper Competition, March 23 – 24 in the vendor tent on Range 37 on Ft Bragg.
Arisaka Defense recently announced a line of four new USA-made products, including new low-pro Picatinny segments for M-LOK and KeyMod and a mount for Harris Bipods. Full details below.
Arisaka's Low Profile Harris Bipod Picatinny Mount is a low-profile bipod mount for Harris S-Series bipods. It replaces the stock sling swivel interface with a minimalist Picatinny mount. Included with the mount is rotation limiters for 15 degrees of cant, and the mount is also compatible with pod lock levers. The mount weighs in at 1 oz. and is only 1.4″ in length, making it much less bulky than the stock mount.
Made from 6061 aluminum and MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodized.
Designed for KeyMod and M-LOK handguards, these low-profile Picatinny rails feature a reduced height to pull accessories closer to the handguard. They feature three fasteners to spread the stress of larger accessories, such as bipods or vertical grips, over more slots on the rail.
The KeyMod QD Mount utilizes BCM's reverse threaded KeyMod screws, and are just .167″ thick.
Made from 7075 aluminum and MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodized.
The Offset M620 Adapter allows SureFire's M620 Scout Light to interface with the Arisaka Offset Scout Mount. The adapter preserves the height over rail and capability to adjust lateral positioning of the original mount. This provides increased clearance around front sights and other top rail mounted accessories.
Arisaka Defense has recently released the new Inline and Offset Picatinny mounts. CNC machined from 6061 aluminum, these mounts are designed to offer a 45 degree Picatinny mount for non-Picatinny accessory rails, such as M-LOK, KeyMod, and the Centurion Arms CMR. Both mounts utilize Bravo Company's Inverted KeyMod Screws for the KeyMod variants.
The Inline Picatinny Mount is designed for rail systems with 45 degree attachment interfaces, including the BCM KMR, Geissele SMR MK4 and MK8, Mega Arms MKM/MML, WEdge Lock, and Midwest Industries Gen 3 handguards. The height and spacing of this mount places mounted lights close to the handguard, mounted at the 1:30 or 10:30 clock positions. This mount is available with KeyMod and M-LOK mounting hardware. Made in the USA.
The Offset Picatinny Mount is designed for rail systems without 45 degree attachment interfaces, including the Noveske NSR, Midwest Industries Gen 2, and SLR Rifleworks Solo Series handguards. The height and spacing of this mount places mounted lights at the 1:30 or 10:30 clock positions. This mount is available with KeyMod, M-LOK, and Centurion Arms CMR mounting hardware. Made in the USA.
Apex, NC, February 3, 2015 – Arisaka LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new Offset Scout Mount.
The Offset Scout® Mount is a low profile KeyMod mounting solution for the Surefire Scout Light® M600 and M300 series weapon lights. It utilizes Bravo Company's patent pending inverted KeyMod screws, making the mount less than 0.165″ thick. The light is positioned at a 45 degree angle and has four lateral mounting positions, which allows the light to be tucked in close to the top Picatinny rail or positioned outwards to gain clearance around front sights or other accessories. The Offset Scout® Mount can also be paired with the Arisaka 300 Series Light Body for an even lower profile light setup.
The Offset Scout® Mount is compatible with most KeyMod handguards like the Noveske NSR, Bravo Company KMR, Knight's Armament URX4, Geissele SMR MK4/5 KeyMod, and Midwest Industries SSK.
Weighing only 0.4 oz, the Offset Scout® Mount is manufactured out of 6061 aluminum and type III hard coat anodized. Like all Arisaka products, it is made entirely in the USA.
Apex, NC, January 6, 2015 – Arisaka LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new Vertical Grips and Optic Leveler.
The Vertical Grip is a robust, minimal foregrip for KeyMod, M-Lok, and CMR handguards. It features a radiused profile at the top which tapers to meet the mounting surface on the handguard, giving a low-profile feel and ergonomic comfort. Twin mounting screws ensure secure attachment. The Vertical Grip is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum and type III hard coat anodized. It weighs 1.8 oz, is 2.5″ in height, and 1.3″ in diameter.
The Optic Leveler is an inexpensive, easy-to-use tool for leveling scopes mounted in rings or one-piece mounts. The base plate sits on the Picatinny rail or one-piece mount just below the turret cluster of the scope, which is intentionally left slightly loose in the rings so it can rotate. The leveling wedge is inserted from the side into the slot in the base. As the matching ramped surfaces of the wedge and base engage, the top of the wedge rises upwards and contacts the turret cluster, causing it to spin until level. The user can then proceed to tighten the scope rings.
All Arisaka products are made entirely in the USA.
Apex, NC, December 30, 2014 – Arisaka LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new 300 Series Light Body.
The 300 Series Light Body is designed as a streamlined replacement for Surefire ScoutLight M300 bodies. It is manufactured without the mounting interface for the stock Picatinny clamp. This greatly increases the clearance for front sights when used in combination with the KeyMod and M-Lok Arisaka Inline Scout Mounts on handguards with 45 degree mounting surfaces adjacent to the top Picatinny rail, such as the BCM KMR, KAC URX4, and Geissele SMR MK8.
The 300 Series Light Body is compatible with all E1 series and Scout Light M300 series tailcaps and heads. It will also fit in any aftermarket Scout mount, as it retains the mounting holes and square lug interface on the underside of the light body.
It is also possible to build a complete light from scratch by sourcing a Surefire or aftermarket light head, and a tailcap or tape-switch.
The 300 Series Light Body is manufactured out of 6061 aluminum, type III hardcoat anodized, and made entirely in the USA.


Welcome, and mazal tov on your upcoming celebration! Whether you are preparing for your own bar mitzvah or arranging a bar mitzvahfor your son or someone else, this site is for you. We intend to be the most comprehensive online resource for all your bar mitzvah preparation needs.
Bar mitzvah preparations can be both exciting and overwhelming. Don't know where to start? This article will guide you through the steps necessary for preparing a bar mitzvah and explain the significance of this special milestone.
The Bar Mitzvah ceremony varies somewhat between communities, but the basic components remain the same. We will explore all the customary practices in the order of their importance. Follow the links at the bottom of each section for deeper insights and practical tools to help you prepare for the big day. We hope you enjoy!
Tefillin are black leather boxes containing parchments inscribed with the Shema and other biblical passages. The Torah commands adult Jewish men to bind the tefillin onto the head and upper arm with leather straps in fulfillment of the verse, "You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they should be for a reminder between your eyes" (Deuteronomy 6:8). Tefillin are worn during weekday morning prayers.
The tefillin are worn on the head and on the arm, close to the heart, as a reminder that we must harness our intellect, emotions and actions in the service of G‑d. Jews have lovingly and devotedly performed this mitzvah for over 3,000 years, exactly as we perform it today.
Although young boys are trained to keep all the mitzvahs even before their bar mitzvah, tefillin are the exception. A boy does not put on tefillin until he approaches the age of thirteen. For this reason, more than any other practice, tefillin have always served as the mark of honor that a boy receives upon his bar mitzvah. Traditionally, the purchase of tefillin for a bar mitzvah boy is regarded with special pride by his parents and grandparents.
Check out our comprehensive Tefillin section.
When the Torah is publicly read in the synagogue (on Shabbat, Monday and Thursday mornings, holidays and fast days), congregants are called up for an aliyah: the honor of reciting one of the blessings over the Torah. Originally, the person called up (the oleh) would read a section from the Torah himself. But because these days many lack the necessary training, there is a designated "reader" who reads the section out loud, while the oleh reads along quietly (or listens).
Aliyah means "ascent," referring both to the physical ascent onto the platform where the Torah is read and to the spiritual elevation experienced at that time.
Traditionally, a boy is honored with an aliyah on the first "Torah-reading-day" that follows his thirteenth birthday. Some wait for the first Shabbat that follows the bar mitzvah.
In order to receive an aliyah, one must be familiar with the procedure of being called up to the Torah and know the blessings recited before and after the reading.
To learn more about the Synagogue check out the Synagogue Virtual Tour.
Learn how to chant the blessings of the Aliyah like a pro.
Jewish adulthood comes with many responsibilities, but it is also an enormous privilege. One would be hard-pressed to think of a more joyous occasion to celebrate than a bar mitzvah. In fact, according to some opinions, to arrange a feast in honor of a bar mitzvah is a mitzvah in itself!
Most bar mitzvah celebrations take place directly after the synagogue ceremony and include a festive meal followed by music (if it is not Shabbat) and dancing.
When choosing a date, keep in mind that if you are not able to have the party on the day of the actual Bar Mitzvah (i.e. the boy's thirteenth Jewish birthday) you should plan an additional small celebration on that day.
One final note: It has become the norm in many communities to celebrate a bar mitzvah on the same scale as a wedding. It's important to mention that just as the wedding party is secondary to the wedding ceremony, the Bar Mitzvah ceremony is much more important than the party, and should be the central focus of the preparations.
More on the ceremony check out The Ceremony section.
It's customary for the bar mitzvah boy to deliver a speech, either in the synagogue after the Torah reading or at the reception that follows.
The speech usually consists of a thought from the weekly Torah portion, which the young man will apply in some way to his own life. The purpose of the speech is to encourage the bar mitzvah boy in the Jewish tradition of sharing the Torah one has learned with others.
The speech is also the perfect opportunity to announce the Mitzvah projectand thank parents, family and friends.
Check out our bar mitzvah speech section for everything you'll need to crearte the perfect speech.
In some communities it is customary for the bar mitzvah boy to chant the Torah reading, or at least one section of it. Others have the custom of honoring the bar mitzvah boy with the final aliyah, known as "Maftir," after which he chants the haftarah–the reading from the prophets which follows the Shabbat Torah reading.
However many are of the opinion that this custom has no source, and is therefore not a requirement for the bar mitzvah ceremony. The Lubavitcher Rebbe writes that in preparation for accepting "the yoke of mitzvot," the bar mitzvah boy should spend time studying the fundamentals of Judaism, including the laws regulating daily life. Preparing to read from the Torah or chant the haftarah is time consuming and not nearly as important as the above studies. It's therefore preferable to spend this precious time on more important subjects.
Check out our interactive torah trainer that will help you prepare to chant your Torah and Haftarah portion like a pro!
The Torah contains 613 mitzvahs–rather an overwhelming prospect for the bar mitzvah boy. What better way to prepare to observe them than by taking one mitzvah and making it his own? For a "mitzvah project," the boy researches one mitzvah in depth so that, when the time comes, he is able to observe it to the fullest.
The mitzvah project can be something to help others, such as a charity drive, which will encourage him in the Jewish tradition of chessed,(kindness), or it can be a mitzvah such as tefillin. Whatever mitzvah he chooses, he will certainly gain tremendous satisfaction from his work.
Learn more about the Mitzvah project, including tips and suggestions here.
Now that you know what a bar mitzvah entails, it's time to start preparing!
A bar mitzvah is not just a once in a lifetime event, rather it's an important link in a continuous chain of religious and spiritual experiences. Therefore the most important aspect of the bar mitzvah is not the party or the performance, but the impact and long term effect this experience will have on the young man's identity as a Jew. The preparations for the bar mitzvah should reflect this focus and not be dominated by less important matters.
The young man should spend the months leading up to the bar mitzvah brushing up on the how-tos of the mitzvahs, learning about the importance of observing them, and deepening his understanding of what it means to be Jewish.
But regardless of previous Jewish education, all bar mitzvah boys engage in a special course of study to prepare for the big day.
Why choose bar mitzvah lessons?
Bar mitzvah lessons help the bar mitzvah boy gear up for the big day.
What will be taught in the lessons?
The content of the lessons will vary depending on the student's prior education, the customs of the community and the personal goals the boy and his parents may have. For some, the lessons will include reading Hebrew and learning the blessings for the aliyah, while for others they may consist of learning to chant the haftarah, or a portion of the Torah and how to lead the prayer services. The lessons usually also help with preparing a bar mitzvah speech.
The optimal preparation time can vary between six and eighteen months, depending on the Hebrew reading level of the student and whether he wants to learn to read from the Torah or chant the haftarah. The earlier the lessons start, the less pressure there will be on the bar mitzvah boy as the date approaches.
When seeking a bar mitzvah teacher, look for someone who will focus on making this a meaningful experience for the bar mitzvah boy, in addition to preparing him technically for the performance.
A boy becomes bar mitzvah on his 13th birthday on the Hebrew calendar. Make sure to schedule the celebration for the Jewish birthday, or shortly thereafter. Use our bar mitzvah date calculator to check the date.
Traditional gifts for the bar mitzvah boy include books with religious or educational value, religious items, gift certificates, or money. Monetary gifts in multiples of 18 are considered to be particularly auspicious and have become very common for bar mitzvahs.
As mentioned above, traditionally the parents or grandparents of the bar mitzvah boy take special pride in purchasing his first set of tefillin.
Tips and suggestions on choosing the right gift.
While the bar mitzvah ceremony is a tremendous milestone in the life of a Jewish boy, and obviously requires a great deal of study and preparation, it should never be viewed as a "graduation" from Judaism, but rather as the bright beginning of a vibrant and fulfilling Jewish life.

We have selected seven Czechs known all over the world for their work. Meet the most important persons of the Czech past and present.
Dvořák was a globally recognized composer, conductor and professor of music and one of the biggest music geniuses in human history. He became famous for his symphonic works; his Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" is one of the most beautiful masterpieces of music ever created. He is also recognized for vocal or vocal-instrumental works, such as Saint Ludmila, Requiem, Te Deum and Stabat Mater. Dvořák composed eleven operas, the most famous ones being Rusalka, Armida or the King and Charcoal Burner. He also composed a lot of chamber music, choral works, songs and concertos. People often mistakenly believe that Antonín Dvořák was American, particularly because Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" was written on American soil.
Tomáš Baťa was one of the greatest businessmen of his times, creator of a global shoemaking empire, often nicknamed the "King of Shoes". Also, he was the mayor of Zlín and a recognized public figure. He founded the Bata shoemaking company in Zlín in 1894 together with his brother and sister and over time expanded it into an extensive enterprise focusing on production, sales, transport, services and finance. He influenced many future economists, and his scope of activities affected the level of business in what was then Czechoslovakia and the affordable prices of his shoes changed the profile of the consumer goods industry. Baťa introduced numerous original methods of production and business management, including a system of staff motivation. His "Bata houses", erected near the plant for his employees, form a fully functional residential part of Zlín to this day. Tomáš Baťa died in a plane crash when he travelled in his personal airplane to open a new branch. His only son Tomáš inherited the enterprise.
Karel Čapek was a popular writer and journalist, playwright, author of many stories and novels, as well as a very good amateur photographer. Karel Čapek and his brother Josef were members of the "Friday Men" – leading figures of politics and culture meeting every Friday afternoon, from 1925 at the brothers' house. Other Friday Men included President T. G. Masaryk or Minister of Foreign Affairs Edvard Beneš. Čapek's Talks with T. G. Masaryk provide a unique testimony of the president and his opinions on political and other issues. Čapek started writing before World War I, mostly in collaboration with his brother Josef, who mainly worked as a painter. Čapek's most popular plays include R.U.R., The Makropulos Affair, The White Disease. "Robot", one of the most popular international words of Czech origin, first appeared in R.U.R. Karel Čapek was repeatedly nominated for the Nobel Prize. He died of a lung oedema a few months before the Nazi occupation of Bohemia and Moravia.
Miloš Forman won two Academy Awards for Best Director, three Golden Globes and a BAFTA award in the same category. He attended Prague's FAMU (Film Academy of Performing Arts) and studied screenwriting. During his studies, he also worked as an assistant director. He shot several successful films in Czechoslovakia, e.g. "The Firemen's Ball", nominated for the Academy Award. During the normalization years, he legally travelled to the U.S. to pursue his filmmaking career. One of Forman's most famous films is "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" of 1974, which won five Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture. Forman's film "Amadeus" received eight Oscars. Miloš Forman died in the United States.
The last President of Czechoslovakia and the first of the Czech Republic, playwright and a leading figure of the Czech dissent, also unmistakably known for his statement "Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred". With his acts and public appearances, Havel became an icon of the fight against the communist regime, promoter of democratic principles and leader of the Velvet Revolution of 1989. He retired from politics at the end of his last presidential term in 2003, returning to his original profession of playwright – and becoming a director, too. Václav Havel received state honours from numerous countries of the world, as well as many awards for his artwork and civic attitude, and dozens of honorary degrees. He was repeatedly nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Former U.S. Secretary of State (1997 – 2001) and the first woman to hold the office in history. The U.S. Senate appointed Madeleine Albright, born in Czechoslovakia, by unanimous vote. Before this office, Bill Clinton appointed her as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Albright also played a major role in the accession of former Eastern Bloc states to NATO. Following her term as Secretary of State, many speculated that she might succeed Václav Havel as Czech President. She currently lectures at Georgetown University. She also published several books. In 2012, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by U.S. President Barack Obama.
Jaromír Jágr is a Czech ice hockey forward and one of the greatest players in history, wearing the symbolic number 68. He spent many years playing for ice hockey clubs in the U.S. and Canada and played a few seasons in Russia's KHL. While in the NHL, he won the Stanley Cup two times with the Pittsburgh Penguins, was awarded the Art Ross Trophy five times, and became the most productive European player ever playing in the NHL. Jágr is also one of only 28 hockey players in the Triple Gold Club, individuals who have played for teams that have won the Stanley Cup, the Ice Hockey World Championships and the Olympic gold medal. In 1998, he notably contributed to the Czech team's victory at the Nagano Olympics. In 2018, Jágr returned to the Czech Republic where he is the majority owner of Rytíři Kladno, also actively playing for the team.

Q: a href onClick is called on page start up (before clicking on the link) I have a primefaces datatable with a column containing links to ftp files:
<p:column sortBy="emplacementlivrable" filterBy="emplacementlivrable">
<a href="ftp://#{spec.emplacementlivrable}" onclick="#{respSpecController.connectToFtpServer()}" target="_blank">#{spec.emplacementlivrable}
</a>
</p:column>

I need the method to connect to the ftp server to be executed only if the user clicks on the link. But when I debug, I can see that it calls that method on page start up and not only when clicking the link.
Is there a why to prevent this behavior?
Thanks

A: That's strange, I don't know why. But this should work:
<p:commandLink value="#{spec.emplacementlivrable}"
               actionListener="#{respSpecController.connectToFtpServer()}"
               oncomplete="window.open('ftp://#{spec.emplacementlivrable}'); return false;"

The Chronicles of Narnia is Rebooting with 'The Silver Chair'
We finally have news on the long-awaited fourth instalment in The Chronicles of Narnia film series. Producer Mark Gordon told Collider that "We're hoping to be able to make the movie very shortly. We're very excited about it."
Walden Media produced the first three Chronicles of Narnia adaptations, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Walden's film rights expired in 2011 and in 2013 it was announced that The C.S. Lewis Company were working with The Mark Gordon Company on the next film. Walden had originally announced they would make The Magician's Nephew next, but there were rumblings of creative differences between the studio and The C.S. Lewis Company. David Magee (Life of Pi, Finding Neverland) announced on twitter that he had finished the script last year, but Harper Collins announced it was a hoax for some reason.
Unfortunately the delay ruined the momentum of the films and also ensured the talented Will Poulter could not return as Eustace Scrubb, although none of the other members of the original cast could return until The Last Battle – the one we hope they will never make. Gordon confirmed that:
"It's all going to be a brand new franchise. All original. All original characters, different directors, and an entire new team that this is coming from."
Collider did confirm that "original characters" will "come 'from the world' of Narnia". And while I admit I have been watching Will Poulter grow taller and taller with dismay, a new cast will be the best approach after such a long gap.
The Silver Chair's villain, The Lady of the Green Kirtle, was never given a first name and Harper Collins ran a competition for fans to name her last year. The Silver Chair, which is probably the darkest book in the series besides The Last Battle and one of the most visually interesting, sees Caspian, now King Caspian X and an old man, appeal for help when his only son Prince Rilian goes missing. Aslan calls on Eustace and his school friend Jill Pole to help, and they join forces with the Marsh-Wiggle Puddlegum to search for Caspian's lost son.

I think Olga is right – there will have to be a re-cast after the amount of time that has elapsed. Children grow up including child actors. I know Olga is disenchanted about the extreme looseness of the adaptation of the (later already published) ASOIAF in the GoT series but I think everybody would laugh out loud these days if Sophie Turner (whose acting I like) was passed off as a "maid of 13" which is book Sansa's age. Does anyone think we will see James McAvoy come back as the faun in the new Narnia episode? That was one of his earlier (at least of the earlier of his substantial) big screen parts but he's made loads of films since.
Olga Hughes January 29, 2016
I don't know, I have seen some old movies with women in their forties playing historical figures who are supposed to be in their twenties!
James's character Mr. Tumnus doesn't appear in any more Narnia books. Usually several Narnian centuries would pass between books. Off the top of my head only Reepi and Caspian appeared in books where the timeline was close together, besides the children that is. Caspian is back in Silver Chair but as a very old man – unless they do his 'final' scene (which I am discussing in an article shortly)
Years ago the BBC broadcast a Royal Shakespeare Company group of adaptations of Shakespeare's War of the Roses plays. Peggy Ashcroft played Margaret of Anjou throughout and she carried off playing the younger Margaret as well as the older one. It's probably obvious from my earlier comment that I only read the first Narnia book (I wonder where I got the idea that Mr Tumnus returned later from?)
Theatre is a little different, you're not supposed to get caught up in what everything looks like. Sophie Turner was rather tall when she was twelve so I imagine she would have always looked a little older, it's odd looking back at the first season now though. Her and Arya seem so small.
Mr Tumnus is one of the better known characters for some reason, although the first book is the most widely-read of course. James was lovely too. I loved the first adaptations, I'm sure they'll do a great job on these ones too.


Fourteen days from now, voters across the state will decide on school budgets that, in all likelihood, increase class sizes, cut programs and close schools so districts can stay within the tax cap. Here's the link to NYSUT's report on this. Here's a link to a Gannett news article that talks about how municipalities also suffer under the tax cap.
Here's a link to an interesting commentary from a retired principal where he connects a number of dots about school funding and fairness with the Newtown shooting from four months ago.
Citizens of the United States can't directly vote on the federal budget. Similarly, no popular vote is allowed on state, city, village, county or town budgets. The only budget that faces public scrutiny and an annual ballot in which residents are essentially voting to raise their property taxes is the school budget.
Ironically, this is the only budget that guarantees that every dollar spent will remain in the community paying the taxes. Who knows where our federal and state tax dollars end up?
School budget elections produce results that are negative at best, and which could put the safety and potentially the lives of our children and their teachers at risk.
His point is that only 26 percent of registered voters participated in last month's school budget vote in Connecticut and the budget, which included funding for increased security, was defeated by 482 votes.
Please don't ignore the school budget vote in your community. Make every effort to vote on May 21. Until NYSUT gets this unconstitutional law overturned — a law that allows 40 percent of the "no" voters to hold more weight than 59.9 percent of the "yes" voters — your vote is more important than ever.
If your local is planning any Get Out The Vote efforts, let me know by commenting below, emailing to bsandber@nysutmail.org or calling (800) 342-9810, ext. 6283.

From the error I can understand that problem is in this part
messageBodyPart.setContent(paragraphs, "application/msword"); where I am adding word document content to MIME message body part.
I have tried several other ways to achieve this but not able to do so. Please suggest a way to achieve this?

A: I got a resolution to this problem.Actually , I have to put different font face and font sizes in email body which I am trying to read from word document.To achieve this I have changed my approach,so instead of word document I have embedded my content into html tags which is quite simple :) , refer the below line of code which will replace word document part
String htmltext = "+
Different Font Size+
Different Font Size+
";
messageBodyPart.setContent(htmltext, "text/html");

During my research one of my friend suggested me following third party API's , it might be helpful to anyone

The Frye Festival takes place every April in Moncton, New Brunswick, where Frye lived for the greater part of his youth, from 1919 to 1929, when he left to study at the University of Toronto. He was born in Sherbrooke, and Moncton, especially for his mother, was hard exile, as John Ayre's biography makes clear. But Moncton is where he grew up and Moncton shaped him in crucial ways. In a talk he gave at the 2003 festival, titled "Moncton, Did You Know?" Bob Denham looked at Frye's years in Moncton and asked the question, What happened to Frye in Moncton that set him, at age 17, firmly on the path that he was to follow. A copy of this talk can be found on the festival website, www.frye.ca, and in the book Verticals of Frye/Les Verticales de Frye, a collection of festival talks I edited in 2005.
The first festival took place in April, 2000, with about 50 authors – poets, novelists, playwrights – in attendance. And we invited David Staines to talk about Northrop Frye. Thus began a splendid series of talks by scholars and others with intimate knowledge of Frye, including Branko Gorjup, Nella Cotrupi, Bob Denham (who has given 3 talks over the years), Naïm Kattan, John Ayre, Michael Dolzani, B.W. Powe, Alvin Lee, Jean O'Grady, Glenna Sloan, and Germaine Warkentin. As well, each year we've organized, as part of the same 'Frye Symposium', at least one roundtable in which these same speakers and others, including Glenn Gill, Jeffrey Donaldson, Joe Velaidum, Peter Singer, and Jean Wilson.
In April, 2006 the festival inaugurated a second series of talks, which we call the Antonine Maillet-Northrop Frye Lecture, featuring a well-known writer/thinker with no necessary connection to Frye. Neil Bissoondath spoke in 2006, followed by David Adams Richards in 2007, Alberto Manguel in 2008, and Monique LaRue in 2009. Paul Curtis at the Université de Moncton, a member of the Frye Board of Directors, has been the driving force behind these talks. Goose Lane Editions of Fredericton has published each talk in a handsome, bilingual, paperback format.
The Bush Garden, where so much of the damage was done, if I can put it that way, was first published in 1971, and I have in my possession, a precious fruit from my years as a bookseller, Timothy Findley's signed copy of the first paperback edition. It's interesting that the first words he underlines, on page 213, are these: "And Canada has produced no author who is a classic in the sense of possessing a vision greater in kind than that of his best readers (Canadians themselves might argue about one or two, but in the perspective of the world at large the statement is true)." I like to picture Timothy Findley at Stone Orchard reading these words and saying to himself, By God, just you wait. (In 1977 he published The Wars.) Of course, Frye did wait, for it all to happen, as he knew it would. Findley also underlines, and gives two long slashes in the margin, to this from page 222: "Again, Canadian culture, and literature in particular, has felt the force of what might be called Emerson's law. Emerson remarks in his journals that in a provincial society it is extremely easy to reach the highest level of cultivation, extremely difficult to take one step beyond that. In surveying Canadian poetry and fiction, we feel constantly that all the energy has been absorbed in meeting a standard, a self-defeating enterprise because real standards can only be established, not met." Whether he agreed or disagreed with Frye's historical perspective, Findley was intent on lifting himself above and beyond the force of Emerson's law. That he succeeded, as did so many others of his generation, is something we can all celebrate.

We've received so much positive email response to Eleanor Cook's biography of Northrop Frye in the Canadian Dictionary of Biography that we've added it (both English and French versions) to our permanent Links section to the right.

Physical Review E 92 021001(R) (2015).
We address here a crucial point regarding the description of moderate to high Reynolds numbers aquatic swimmers. For decades, swimming animals have been classified in two different families of propulsive mechanisms based on the Reynolds number: the resistive swimmers, using local friction to produce the necessary thrust force for locomotion at low Reynolds number, and the reactive swimmers, lying in the high Reynolds range, and using added mass acceleration (described by perfect fluid theory).
However, inertial swimmers are also systems that dissipate energy, due to their finite size, therefore involving strong resistive contributions, even for high Reynolds numbers. Using a complete model for the hydrodynamic forces, involving both reactive and resistive contributions, we revisit here the physical mechanisms responsible for the thrust production of such swimmers. We show, for instance, that the resistive part of the force balance is as crucial as added mass effects in the modeling of the thrust force, especially for elongated species. The conclusions brought by this work may have significant contributions to the understanding of complex swimming mechanisms, especially for the future design of artificial swimmers.

PSL Winners List and Runner Up List Over The Years
The Pakistan Super League, a trademark of franchising T20 cricket tournaments, is currently considered to be one of the finest T20 leagues in the entire world of cricket. Since there have only been six Pakistan super league seasons, the champion's table is not exceptionally long. For the benefit of our viewers, we have listed the PSL winners List beneath.
The first two seasons of the Pakistan Super League were contested in the United Arab Emirates. Subsequently, the tournament came back to Pakistan in different stages. As of PSL 2020, every PSL game is presently contested in Pakistan. The PSL has already had five champions during its first six iterations. Still, no team has been repeatedly named to the winner's table, indicating how strong the rivalry is in this league.
PSL winners list and Runner up list table:
S.# Year Winner Runner Up Win Margin
1 2016 Islamabad United Quetta Gladiators 6 Wickets
2 2017 Peshawar Zalmi Quetta Gladiators 58 Runs
3 2018 Islamabad United Peshawar Zalmi 3 Wickets
4 2019 Quetta Gladiators Peshawar Zalmi 8 Wickets
5 2020 Karachi Kings Lahore Qalandars 5 Wickets
6 2021 Multan Sultans Peshawar Zalmi 47 Runs
7 2022 Lahore Qalandars Multan Sultan 42 runs
PSL 7 Winner
Lahore Qalandars are indeed the PSL 7 winner. Lahore entered the PSL championship game for the second time. It is indeed interesting to remember that Lahore has never entered the semifinals in any preceding Pakistan super league campaign. Lahore remained the only squad to upset table-topping Multan, including both phase matches and the championship final, placing second best overall to the former champion Multan Sultans across the phase encounters.
Even though being a collaborative effort, Lahore's dominance can be seen in the PSL 2022 Batting and Bowling Statistics Led by Lahore Athletes. Fakhar Zaman collected 588 runs, along with a century and seven fifty-scores, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, their leader, grabbed the most wickets with 20.
Youthful Zaman Khan certainly made a big impression with 18 wickets during his first campaign in the Pakistan super league. With 69 runs from the bat as well as a few wickets to guarantee his team won their inaugural PSL championship, Mohamad Hafeez was declared Man of the match in the grand finals.
Multan Sultans claimed the PSL in 2021. Multan earned their first-ever appearance in the Pakistan super league 2021, and they claimed it by a blowout. In the tournament final, Multan faced Peshawar Zalmi and convincingly thrashed them. Multan was featured on the PSL winner table for the very first time.
By hammering an unbroken 65, Sohaib Maqsood emerged as the winner of the match. In the championship game, Sohaib Maqsood earned the Man of the Match title. Mohammad Rizwan, the Multan Sultans' newly named captain, guided the team to victory in the tournament. Rizwan also scored the most runs for Multan Sultans.
With 20 wickets, young fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani was indeed the best bowler for Multan and the whole game. For his 428 runs, Sohaib Maqsood was awarded the championship's Man of the Match. Both assisted Multan Sultan in securing the PSL in 2021.
The Karachi Kings earned the PSL 5 winner league. The championship match was deemed a fan favorite due to the battle between Karachi and Lahore, two of Pakistan's most popular cities. In the finals, Karachi Kings made a dominating effort to prevail by five wickets. The spinners from Karachi, who restricted the Qalandars to a modest number and then secured the Kings' title with an undefeated 63 from Babar Azam, were the superstars of the evening.
Imad Wasim captained the Karachi Kings to their inaugural PSL Tournament championship. With 473 runs, Babar Azam was indeed the best batsman in the competition and earned both the Man of the Match and Hero of the Tournament honors. Taking ten wickets, Mohammad Amir was the Kings' finest bowler. Babar Azam was an essential element in the achievement of Karachi Kings in the Pakistan super league 2020.
Quetta Gladiators won the PSL 4 in 2019 and were declared champions. Before 2019, they twice made it to the final. However, they failed both times. But 2020 was their time, and they claimed the title by overcoming Peshawar Zalmi. Under Sarfaraz Ahmed's supervision, Quetta claimed their first Pakistan super league trophy. Mohammad Hasnain directed the attack with three wickets, and Quetta's bowling, which had limited Zalmi to a low sum, had admirably equipped themselves for the finals. Later, Quetta was eventually capable of taking ownership of the gold, owing to a half-century by Ahmed Shahzad.
Mohammad Hasnain was Man of the Match in the championship game for taking 3 wickets. With 19 wickets, Sohail Tanvir was the Quetta Gladiators' leading bowler in the 2019 Pakistan super league. The best batsman of the PSL 2019 remained Shane Watson, who accumulated 430 runs for Quetta.
Islamabad United was the PSL's 2018 winning squad. The only squad with a name showing twice in the PSL Winner list is Islamabad. In the championship game, Islamabad United overcame Peshawar Zalmi. By striking Hassan Ali for 3 consecutive sixes, Asif Ali placed an impressive end to the contest. The final was won by Islamabad United by three wickets with three overs left.
In this campaign, Islamabad United had three different leaders. They were led by Misbah-ul-Haq at the start, Rumman Raees in the middle of the season, and JP Duminy in the final games, including the championship game. Luke Ronchi was the best batsman in the entire thing, hitting 435 runs.
Peshawar Zalmi was the PSL 2017 Winning team as they overpowered Quetta Gladiators in the grand finals. In the final, Peshawar scored 148 due to Kamran Akmal and Darren Sammy. Quetta's reaction was to be dragged for only 90. Darren Sammy, the captain of Peshawar Zalmi, was chosen Man of the Match for his amazing contribution and captaincy.
Kamran Akmal was the top batter in the league and was awarded Man of the Tournament after amassing 353 runs for Peshawar Zalmi.
The Pakistan Super League's first season was won by Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. In the championship game, Islamabad United soundly overcame Quetta Gladiators. Islamabad United, however, clinched the run chase with eight balls left due to an incredible 61 by Brad Haddin and a contribution of 73 runs by Dwayne Smith. In the title game, Dwayne Smith won Man of the Match.
Misbah-ul-Haq guided Islamabad United to success in the league as captain. Sharjeel Khan was Islamabad United's outstanding batsman the entire way, scoring 299 runs. Taking 16 wickets, Andre Russell was the best bowler for Islamabad United and the best bowler altogether.
